'Danske Bedinger Dandridge, a distinguished West Virginia poet, gained the recognition of such great literary figures as James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes and John Greenleaf Whittier.

The poet was the daughter of Henry and Caroline Bedinger and was born in Denmark while her father was serving as U.S. Minister of that country. Danske Dandridge's interests were widespread. She was an authority on horticulture and wrote extensively for garden and country life magazines in the U.S. and abroad. In addition to her collected poetical works Joy and Other Poems and Rose Brake (named for her home overlooking Shepherdstown) she published George Michael Bedinger; A Kentucky Pioneer; Historic Shepherdstown and Prisoners of the American Revolution.'
